“…As underweight persons may be prone to vitamin D deficiency due to inadequate food consumption, we examined the association between serum 25OHD levels and the ratio of EI to REE (EI/REE) (Wortsman et al, 2000) as measure of adequate food consumption. It is often observed that EI/REE correlates strongly with BMI (Mensink et al, 2001). Low-energy reporting as determined by a low ratio of EI/REE is positively associated with BMI.…”

“…Trained nutritionists interviewed the participants about their dietary habits in the past 4 weeks before the examination, using the computerized modified dietary history instrument DISHES 98 (Dietary Interview Software for Health Examination Studies) with documented validity (Mensink et al, 2001). Special tableware and drawings of food portions helped to facilitate the estimations of portion sizes.…”

Objective: To analyze vitamin D status based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) measurements, its determinants and health correlates in a representative sample of German adults. Subjects: A total of 1763 men and 2267 women, 18-to 79-year old, who participated in the representative German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 and the integrated German Nutrition Survey. Results: The median vitamin D intake from both diet and supplements did not meet the recommended level of 5 mg/day, in either men (2.8 mg/day) or women (2.3 mg/day). Altogether 80.9% of men and 88.5% of women had vitamin D intakes below this level. Moderate (12.5-25 nmol/l serum 25OHD levels) and mild (25-50 nmol/l) vitamin D deficiency was prevalent in the adult population in Germany, even in younger age groups. Overall, 57% of men and 58% of women had vitamin D levels below 50 nmol/l. Among 65-to 79-year-old women, the proportion amounted to 75%, even during the sunnier half of the year. In sexspecific multiple linear regression models, independent determinants of serum 25OHD levels consistently included season, vitamin D intake from both diet and supplements, physical activity and living in a partnership. In addition, age and current menopausal hormone use contributed to the model among women, as opposed to time of day of blood sampling and body mass index (marginally) among men. Significantly lower serum 25OHD levels were observed in women with hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and noninsulin-treated diabetes mellitus as well as in men with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus compared with nonaffected participants. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is a public health issue in Germany. We identified a number of determinants with potential for primary prevention of vitamin D deficiency. Risk and benefits of preventive actions need to be examined in further studies.

“…The chosen setting of two times 4 days of recording caused an overlap of Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is known that food consumption differs between weekdays and weekends [12,15,16]. Internal analyses showed that intakes of energy and carbohydrates on Saturdays were significantly higher than the intakes on weekdays (data not shown).…”

Comparison of food consumption and nutrient intake assessed with three dietary assessment methods: results of the German National Nutrition Survey II

Purpose Comparison of food consumption, nutrient intake and underreporting of diet history interviews, 24-h recalls and weighed food records to gain further insight into specific strength and limitations of each method and to support the choice of the adequate dietary assessment method. Methods For 677 participants (14-80 years) of the German National Nutrition Survey II confidence intervals for food consumption and nutrient intake were calculated on basis of bootstrapping samples, Cohen's d for the relevance of differences, and intraclass correlation coefficients for the degree of agreement of dietary assessment methods. Low energy reporters were identified with Goldberg cut-offs. Results In 7 of 18 food groups diet history interviews showed higher consumption means than 24-h recalls and weighed food records. Especially mean values of food groups perceived as socially desirable, such as fruit and vegetables, were highest for diet history interviews. For "raw" and "cooked vegetables", the diet history interviews showed a mean consumption of 144 and 109 g/day in comparison with 68 and 70 g/day in 24-h recalls and 76 and 75 g/day in weighed food records, respectively. For "fruit", diet history interviews showed a mean consumption of 256 g/day in comparison with 164 g/day in 24-h recalls and 147 g/day in weighed food records. No major differences regarding underreporting of energy intake were found between dietary assessment methods. Conclusions With regard to estimating food consumption and nutrient intake, 24-h recalls and weighed food records showed smaller differences and better agreement than pairwise comparisons with diet history interviews.

“…If answer categories of the questionnaire covered a range of values, the midpoint of the range of frequency or amount was used. A subsample of 4030 participants were also interviewed about their alcohol consumption using the computerised dietary history program, called DISHES (Dietary Interview Software for Health Examination Studies) with documented validity (Mensink et al, 2001).…”

“…In this way, more realistic consumption levels are obtained than without the differentiation of beverage type (Feunekes et al, 1999). In a subsample of 4030 participants, the alcohol consumption reported in from the food frequency questionnaire was compared with that of a dietary history (DISHES 98), DISHES has been previously validated against 3-day weighted dietary records and a 24 h dietary recall (Mensink et al, 2001). Pearson's correlation coefficients for alcohol consumption between the food frequency questionnaire and the dietary history were 0.74 (Po0.0001) for women and 0.70 (Po0.0001) for men.…”

Objective: To analyse the association of alcohol consumption and blood lipids, haemostatic factors, and homocysteine in German adults by gender and age groups. Design: Cross-sectional population-based survey. Setting: Data from the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998, representative for age, gender, community size, and federal state. Subjects: From a sample of 7124 Germans between 18 and 79 y old, 2420 women and 2365 men were selected. Only individuals who were not currently receiving medical treatment or did not have disorders related to cardiovascular disease were selected for this study. Results: Using analyses of variance, mean blood levels of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, HDL/total cholesterol ratio, total glycerides, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, and homocysteine adjusted for age, socioeconomic status, East/West Germany residence, body mass index, tobacco use, sports activity, and coffee consumption, if appropriate are presented by alcohol consumption groups (0, 40-10, 410-20, 420-30 and 430 g/day). The HDL/total cholesterol ratio increased with higher alcohol groups up to 10-20 g/day ( þ 15%) for women and 430 g/day ( þ 18%) for men, showing the strongest rise among men aged 55-79 y. Fibrinogen decreased with higher alcohol groups up to 10-20 g/day for women and 20-30 g/day for men. Among women, homocysteine levels showed a U-shaped curve with a minimum of 8.49 mmol/l at 10-20 g alcohol/day (À8%, reference: nondrinking), whereas an inverse association was observed for men. Conclusions: Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with favourable levels of several cardiovascular risk factors. The most favourable cardiovascular risk factor profile among women was observed among those drinking 10-20 g alcohol/day. Beneficial effects seem to be more pronounced among older men.
